Make...a grass pouffe

Garden furniture’s for pussies. Who wants to pay twenty quid for some manky white resin chair? Or, worse, ‘Racing Green’? Yeah, because that’ll blend in well. You know you’ll be tempted to rock on the legs, and they’ll collapse, bending underneath you, and you’ll look like an arse. So sitting in your garden’s pretty damn cool, so what to do? If you’re lucky enough to have some grass, why not build something that I guarantee will match your garden perfectly? Obviously, make it out of grass. That was easy.

Half fill the cube with soil, and jump up
and down on it to firm. Then fill to the
top, and do the same. When the soil is
compacted and secure, remove the sides
and stakes.
